God of War totally rebooted the series in the best way possible. Kratos, the angry Spartan god we all know, is now a gruff dad living in Norse mythology with his son. It's a surprisingly heartfelt story about family and redemption, and the combat is brutal and satisfying. Exploring the gorgeous Norse world is a blast, and the boss fights are epic. Sure, the puzzles can be a bit meh, and the story is a slow burn at times, but overall it's an amazing adventure that everyone, even if they're not familiar with God of War before, should try.
